My personal bag week: Day 1

I've made a lot of bags recently for Christmas presents.  First up is the Jane Market Bag:

For some reason when pulling/purchasing fabrics for these I was certain that I could make the exterior with fat quarters. You can't.  I started cutting the first bag and realized I didn't have enough fabric.  I altered the pattern on the first three bags and adjusted the size of the side pieces to make them fat quarter friendly since I didn't want to buy more fabric.  It ended up working out just fine.
